I'm thinking that the ideas for the future of the News Channel may look similar to the look and feel of Euronews.See, my reading is the opposite. To me, the plans seem to suggest they want to eventually lose packaged reporting and move further in the direction of longer focus on a few stories (heavy on live reporting and discussion), with added recycling of made-for-online content. It's not my cup of tea and I don't really see why the raison d'etre of TV news has become such an embarassment recently, but packages are very much out of favour across news channels, with a preference for talking instead. And, of course, doing what everybody else is doing is exactly what you should do in a crowded and shrinking marketplace like TV news.
I guess it's one way to bolster the ratings of network bulletins, make the rest of their TV output so unwatchable it's the only island of safety left. It's hardly a BBC only problem, but it is incredible how every attempt to future-proof TV news has made me watch less TV news.
